THE HISTORY OF RHYDDINGS PARK

A series of four audio documentaries has been produced chronicling the history of Rhyddings Park in Oswaldtwistle and is now available to stream and download.

In 2017, Hyndburn Borough Council began a full restoration of the park to its Victorian heyday following a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery for over £2m and one of the conditions was to fully document and record the renovations in a series of audio visual programmes over the following three years.

 
However, late in 2020 the company who were contracted pulled out and I was asked to produce the series instead. Following a very intensive period of writing and recording which involved some fascinating research, the result is a four part series which chronicles the history of Rhyddings Park from its early beginnings in the 1500s to the reopening in 2017.

The series can be listened to on SoundCloud or YouTube for free and the links are below:
